If a blood test is not indicating any issues with the kidneys, then the lower back pain likely has nothing to do with your kidneys.
My mother took lithium for over 40 years. She was very overweight and had diabetes. Yet, after all this time there was only evidence if 'mildly' decreased kidney function.
The question is whether the lithium is working for you. 5 years on lithium is nothing compared to the typical duration. Many people take this medication for decades without any major issues.
